Leverstock Green is a "modern" parish, formed from parts of the parishes of St Michael's (St Albans), Abbots Langley and Hemel Hempstead. The church, shown above from an article in the Illustrated London News, was consecrated on 30th October, 1849. It became part of Hemel Hempstead New Town in the 1940's and is now part of the Borough of Dacorum.

Barbara Chapman maintains a web site, The Leverstock Green Chronicle, which contains exceptionally comprehensive notes, maps and pictures detailing the history of Leverstock Green and anyone with an interest in the area should visit it.
